Using ControlLogix Gateway to RIO Block Transfer Pass Thru Communications 14-3
Hardware Required Hardware
The hardware required for this type of communications depends on the drive
type. Refer to the following table:
Setting Up the Hardware
To use DriveTools32 with this type of communications, you must:
• Ensure that the ControlLogix controller has scanners for the network that
you are using and network to which you want to connect.
• Ensure that the drive and adapter are properly installed and powered.
• Ensure that cables are securely connected and protected from damage.
• Ensure that block transfer is enabled in your adapter. If you are using a
1203-Gx1 or 1336-GM1 module, switch 1 on SW3 must be ON.
Important: Ensure that the ladder logic program and controller configuration
reflect the image table with Block Transfer enabled.
• Verify that the settings in your communication module are correct. Refer to
its user manual.
• Ensure that the controller connected to the drive is not using any Block
Transfer instructions addressed to the drive in its ladder logic program.
• Ensure that the controller connected to the drive is in RUN mode. If it is not
in RUN mode, pass thru messages cannot be delivered to the connected
drive product.
